I've just bought the 1.5 update, installed it and patched FOTRS 1.3 over on it, along with some own fixes I made for it already (fixed broken crew rank system, custom depth settings for crash dive order). I'll use this for my story-like manual, as most of you out there seem to play 1.5 and FOTRS doesn't change that much in the gameplay.

My new career is off Manila '41, I'm shipping some crates with new flags to the front line on the Phillippines to raise troop morale (or something).
USS Searaven, of course. Sargo class sub. (Which reminds me, I may have to fix the conning tower upgrade again in this version.)
Can't really say I like the new crew screen display, as it kind of hides the basic skill symbols I always use for crew management in the first place. But found a way to work around that already. The harbor seems pretty empty though, I almost got no new crew to chose from.. 10 to 20 people were there, but they looked either horrible or refused to work for me ("too many officers", never got that one before, especially with actually that few officers onboard. Do PO's count as officers nowadays, too?)

I'm more than half way there and the only ship I've seen so far was a US tug boat, so I guess I'll be heading back at flank speed to reinforce Luzon ASAP.
Let's see what this has in store for me and my crew, maybe I'll get a chance to make room in those torp rooms so I can stock up on food.
